The cabin was clean, the host and owners were great, and the place was great. Water in the river is perfect depth and flow and kids and it was a very short walk to get down there. It was my first time being charged a pet fee for a service animal but it was only 25 so it wasn’t terrible. Will definitely keep it on the favorites list!

Everything We Were Looking For

Couldn't have asked for a better host or nicer weekend getaway with family. The cabin was very clean and so well stocked - most towels of any place we've ever stayed! :) Great time, accommodations, and host.

Family friendly weekend getaway

This cabin was perfect for a group of 9. It had everything we needed and I appreciate the amount of towels available. There was great outdoor space on the porch and in front for safe kid friendly space. The kids had a blast and can’t wait to go back.

My family wanted to take a trip with the kids to get away from it all but at the same time be responsible from a health perspective. The place was super clean and remote and was the perfect vacation during these uncertain times. We would definitely stay here again.

Great cabin with awesome views

We very much enjoyed our stay. The views were great and there is plenty of room for kids to explore. The river was low, but that didn't dampen the fun we had. The location is a little secluded, but still close to State parks and the town of Bandera. All in all, if you want a peaceful spot, this is the place.

Great getaway

Spotless cabin, comfy bed and stocked with everything you need. Thoughtful owners who obviously care about their guests. Lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed the river, fires at night and all the great spots to relax. Especially loved feeding the deer that were feet from us as well as the birds and squirrels. Even saw a fox! We would definitely return, and you won't be disappointed with this beautiful spot.

So relaxing

My husband and I truly enjoyed our trip to the cabin. We really enjoyed our walk along the river and sat on the front porch and listened to the water flowing. The cabin was spotless and had way more room then what we were expecting. Also the bed was very comfortable.

We enjoyed our stay here at the cabin and exploring around the river/stream. Unfortunately, the water levels are low, but we knew this coming in and we were able to put a few seats in the water and dip our toes in.The cabin had everything we needed, and we appreciate that they included some additional items like face wipes, hand, soaps, Q-tips, etc.Our family is used to being on well water so just wanna mention to families visiting …if you use the hot water you may have a sulfur type smell, which is completely normal. We like the proximity to Bandera and exploring the town. It’s a great little place to be if you’re trying to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Annular Solar Eclipse Oct. 2023

Our Eclipse experience was made immaculate by the setting of this gorgeous property & river access…. It was the perfect place for family & close friends to share experiences together and make memories. Lots of beds for everyone, a good kitchen for family meals, and the best spot for relaxing adventures…! Highly recommend!!!

Beautiful scenery

We enjoyed the quiet peaceful atmosphere that this cabin had to offer. Even though the Medina water level is low, we were able find enough water to float on tubes and enjoy the natural surroundings. This place had everything we needed to cookout and a spacious porch to hang out in the morning. Carol and Lyn were great hostesses! We will definitely be back.

Cozy cabin in a great location on the river

Location is amazing- lovely to sit on the porch in the morning looking out at the river. We loved kayaking and skimming stones on the river. Lovely that our dog could go loose. The firepit and loungers by the river at night was a highlight. And smores! The cabin was cozy, comfortable and very well equipped . We really felt like we escaped to nature for a few days.

Cabin was extremely clean, and hosts were friendly!

When first getting to the property. The host family that runs the place, are SUPER friendly! They were extremely helpful and even wheeled down the wood that we paid for. The house was extremely clean, and there was plenty of towels provided. My family will for sure be returning, and we will HIGHLY recommend to anyone else!

What a delight!

We loved our stay in the cabin! The whole team was so friendly and helpful with any questions. They even helped us with our flat tire. The beds were clean, soft, and comfortable. The kitchen and bath were well stocked. Access to the river is quick and easy. We loved getting to feed to deer, birds, and squirrels. Our dog loved the large porch. We definitely plan to come back!

Weekend get away

Cabin was well stocked with everything u needed for cooking. Beds were comfy, kayaks were an added bonus. Check in and out was perfect and easy. And the water level was high and nice temperature. Only slight issue was having to work around all the people fishing in the morning but all and all it was a good weekend. I will be planning a trip back in the future. Thank you for opening up your place to guests. Its a perfect getaway from the city.
